The Series is the amalgamation of three popular, well established Sooke fishing derbies beginning the season with the Sooke Halibut Derby followed by the Sooke Coho Derby, and wrapped up with the Sooke Boxing Day Derby.

The Sooke Saltwater Series is a season long points race, which encourages avid fishers to take part in all three derbies to win the Sooke Saltwater Series and take the title of Sooke Fishing Champion.

A portion of proceeds from each derby are donated to either the Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society, The Charters Creek Interpretive Centre, or the Sooke Food Bank. Fishers are always encouraged to donate all or part of their catch to the food bank to be entered into draws for chances at extra prizes.
